13.8% alc., 150 cases, $28. Sourced from Zena Crown,
Broadley and Sunny Mountain vineyards. 100% destemmed. Aged in 60% new Francois Frères and
Taransaud French oak barrels for 14 months.
·Moderately light reddish-purple color in the glass. Aromas of
cherry, oak, biscuit (yeasty), stem and coffee becoming more pronounced the following day from a previously
opened and re-corked bottle. Soft in the mouth with vibrant acidity, featuring cherry and raspberry fruit with a
hint of tarry, coffee-scented oak in the background. A racy wine for early drinking. Decent.Reviewed February 4, 2013
